About our Ministry
Jesus Every Day Ministries is
lead by Jed Snyder, long time pastor, counselor, teacher, writer and missions
enthusiast.
Jed has led churches for over thirty years, has counseled many people some of
whom were seriously wounded inwardly, has traveled on short term missions trips,
teaching and encouraging local people as well as the missionaries and other
teachers.
Having grown up as a missionary “kid” in Bolivia, he experienced cross-cultural
life gaining a deep appreciation for differences while learning to accept the
people as having similar spiritual and emotional needs as his own. As a
husband, father and grandfather he has been able to contribute while continually
learning. God has given him a passion to share His Word with others
personally, in small groups and from many different pulpits.

Can You Help?
We want to make a comprehensive list of service agencies (especially Christian ones)
in the Midlands of South Carolina. Will you email me contact information so I can
get in touch with such organizations? I have a questionnaire to send them to evaluate
their trustworthiness for being listed.
Thanks,
Dr. Jed Snyder

What is Failure?
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
For those who may not know, John Wooden was one of the most successful basketball coaches in university history. He knew about change. He coached hundreds of ball players to change so they could function better both personally and for the team.

How should I witness to my coworkers?
When we interact with people on a daily basis, we have many opportunities for sharing our faith. First, be sure you are respectful to your employer and set a good example in your work ethic by working “as to the Lord” (Col. 3:23). When others around you grumble and complain, if you have a calm, forgiving, steadfast spirit, it will make an impression. As you respond in a Christ-like way to angry coworkers and stressful circumstances, people will see a difference in your life.
If your boss forbids it, don’t witness on work time. Instead, keep a pile of Million Dollar Bills or some other tract on your desk but don’t give them out. If someone asks for one, let them take it. Displaying a favorite Scripture or a devotional calendar, or quietly reading your Bible during lunchtime, may prompt others to inquire about your faith.
To not infringe on your employer’s time, invite unsaved coworkers out to lunch (not the opposite sex) and witness to them there. Just ask for their thoughts on what happens after death. That will let you know if they are open to the gospel. If you detect contention, apologize and instead use closet prayer. Make a list of workers and uphold them before God, asking for divine openings.
In the meantime, let your love shine. Always be friendly and courteous, and show genuine interest in your coworkers’ lives. Share their joys and sorrows by congratulating them in their good times and offering to pray for them in their bad times. Be sure you do pray for them, then follow up by asking them about the situation you prayed for. They will be moved by your concern. If coworkers are discussing what they did during the previous weekend, you can share your excitement about attending church services or a special church event. Ask about their plans for celebrating Christmas or Easter; be nonjudgmental of their answer, and be ready to explain why you celebrate as you do.
Bringing home-baked goods or leaving a small gift with a note on a coworker’s desk can sometimes have a greater impact than a thousand eloquent sermons. We can show our faith by our works. Others may not like a tree of righteousness, but they cannot help but like its fruit.
For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. 1 Peter 2:15

Books for Ministry - Dr. Jed N. Snyder, Pastor
The most recent release is “Daily Living by the Word,” a daily devotional book designed to help readers spend a productive daily “quiet time” with their Heavenly Father. It like the other two books is a donation book, meaning that it will be sent when requested for a donation of any amount. At least $20 plus shipping is suggested, but if that is not affordable, please do not hesitate to request the book.
The book “Spiritual Gifts, The True, The Counterfeits” has received a good welcome. A suggested donation is at least $20 plus shipping. The uniqueness of this book consists primarily in that the Satanic counterfeits are pointed out. The Lord’s adversary is a master of deceit and he tries to counterfeit all good until he gets in and destroys people.
The earliest book is “Everything I Ever Needed to Know, I Learned in My Garden.’ This book gives principles for effective daily living based on simple, but profound, lessons that nearly any gardener knows about raising vegetables or flowers. This small volume will be sent upon request. Its suggestion donation amount is $12 plus shipping and handling.
Dr. Jed appreciates prayer as he is in the midst of writing a book that will likely be titled “Biblical Shepherding.” He spends some time helping readers with spiritual “hygiene” a frequently neglected topic.
Contact Dr. Jed at jedsnyder@tmjs.com with your request and the address to which the book/s will be mailed.
Love Came Down
Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, Love Divine,
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and Angels gave the sign.
Worship we the Godhead,
Love Incarnate, Love Divine,
Worship we our Jesus,
But wherewith for sacred sign?
Love shall be our token,
Love be yours and love be mine,
Love to God and all men,
Love for plea and gift and sign.
Christina Rossetti
It was first published without a title in Time Flies: A Reading Diary in 1885. It was later included in the collection Verses in 1893 under the title "Christmastide"
The following little poem expresses the desires of Jesus Every Day Ministries, Inc.
So Send I You - Margaret Clarkson
So send I you to labour unrewarded
To serve unpaid, unloved, unsought, unknown
To bear rebuke, to suffer scorn and scoffing
So send I you to toil for Me alone
So send I you to bind the bruised and broken
Over wandering souls to work, to weep, to wake
To bear the burdens of a world a-weary
So send I you to suffer for My sake
So send I you to loneliness and longing
With heart a-hungering for the loved and known
Forsaking kin and kindred, friend and dear one
So send I you to know My love alone
So send I you to leave your life's ambition
To die to dear desire, self-will resign
To labour long, and love where men revile you
So send I you to lose your life in Mine
So send I you to hearts made hard by hatred
To eyes made blind because they will not see
To spend, though it be blood to spend and spare not
So send I you to taste of Calvary
"As the Father hath sent me, so send I you"
